Derek: The Instant Trailer Review

The Hype: "A nursing home caretaker and his group of quirky coworkers"; "Could Gervais be edging into fresh emotional territory...?"; "Looks like a depressing Office episode."

The Setup: Derek wrestles at work, walks into traffic, mimics the monkeys he sees on YouTube, and doesn't exactly seem fit to run his own life, much less those of the Broadhill retirees growing ever more senile. But he still loves what he does and considers himself the luckiest man in the world. And hey, his best friend Dougie wants to be just like him, so who are we to judge? Wait, now Derek's eating cake with his hands and running through the common room naked. Well, he seems kind, honest, and genuinely happy, and so do the people around him. But I'm probably not leaving my own grandmother at Broadhill anytime soon.
